After the thunderstorms that rolled through yesterday day, and also reading the grounding in the shack thread. I also read the story about the guy that captain kilowatt knows, where he had an Antron 99 up on a mast with nothing but a ground rod, and a lightning strike blew the cabinets off his kitchen wall.it got me thinking about my antenna setup. I realize that this is a controversial subject, and people have strong opinions about grounding.
I have done some reading, but it’s almost like an information overload. My question is what else should I do to this antenna/mast setup other than just driving a 8ft copper clad ground into the ground next to the mast.
I guess I’m more of a visual learner.
Everyone is welcome to comment whether you use no ground at all, or have hundreds of dollars into your grounding system.
